Implement LikeBack from Basket

[diederik]

Basket has a nice feature for beta versions, to report what you like or dislike. More information can be found at http://basket.kde.org/likeback.php

In a similar fashion, it should be easier to "report a bug to the developer". E.g. keep the same menu option in release versions, but with a different dialog instead.

I've implemented LikeBack, it's a bit of a raw patch but it works well.

Remarks:

• The menu entry to report issues doesn't work.
• The server that likeback is sending the feedback to can be changed from KMessInterface::initLikeBack() and is currently set to: http://amroth.coldshock.net/kmess/likeback/
• The current feedback entries can be viewed already! To login, use your Trac account details.

Like Back for KMess, first attempt

Kadai suggested this should be part of the alpha release to get feedback

btw, instead of porting likeback to KMess 2, we can also add a link in the contact list to get more feedback. ;)

Bas Ket Note Pads is currently in process of being ported on to KDE4.

The current development tree can be seen and downloaded via GIT; I tried it and it's still a bit raw. It's a shame since it would be very useful for the alphas/betas development; it's an immediate method for users to send useful feedback.

I guess we'll need to wait a bit longer.

I just couldn't wait, I've dropped a mail to the current mantainer :D

I received a very positive answer from the Basket mantainer; so since I can't keep my hands still, I've started porting the Like Back classes to a proper KDE4 implementation. I'm attaching a temporary patch for anyone interested.

[diederik]

as note (discussed over msn), this should be added to KDE libs! Especially considering the Akademy 2008 keynote about intgrating the community into our apps.

Fully ported version.
